Ruhel is Bengali in Origin.
Ruhel is a South Asian Muslim given name deriving from Arabic ruh, “spirit, soul,” carried into Bengali and Urdu through Islamic vocabulary. In this sense it evokes inspiration, vitality, and the divine breath; in Bangla it is written রুহেল and commonly pronounced ROO-hel.
The name gained currency through the Arabic idafa construction ruh al- ("spirit of ...") found in compounds such as Ruhul Amin ("the Trustworthy Spirit") and Ruhul Quddus ("the Holy Spirit"). As call-names shortened from these compounds, Ruhel settled as an independent given name, especially from the late 20th century in Bangladesh and among the diaspora. Variants and transliterations include Ruhul, Roohel, and Ruheel; related but etymologically distinct is Raheel (from Arabic rahil, "departure, journey"). Do not confuse Ruhel with the biblical Reuel/Ruel ("friend of God"), which has separate Hebrew origins.
